Okay, I've waited a lot longer than the normal waiting time for a piece of audio to be evaluated. I wanna start posting my creations but it keeps saying I'm banned. It's been over a month and a half now and I still haven't seen my work put up and I haven't been able to re-upload it. I think something is wrong with my account.

Seems like everyone believes the mods owe them something. Relax. Take a breather. Go outside. I understand your excitement, but don't berate the mods. They don't have to do anything, they're doing it for you.

Can you give some details about the track you submitted? If it says you're banned, then you're not going to be allowed to submit with your current account. The only way to submit is to make a new account and try again.

As to why you were banned, did you use any copyrighted samples, pre-made loops that came with your software, a copyrighted acapella, etc.? If so, then that's why you were banned. Everything must be completely copyright free.

Also, I know that most music software comes with loops that are royalty-free. The reason these are not allowed on NG, despite being within LEGAL boundaries, is because we want to encourage original compositions, rather than having to sort through all the "duplo music" to find original work.

Ah crap, sorry for the double post, but what about single sampled notes?

I've got a couple harp samples (just inidividual notes) mapped into a sequencer, but the melody/note progressing/sequence/rhythm or mine. Is this an issue? Probably a stupid question, but I'm just curious.

Thats fine, im assuming you are talking about Orkester on reason. Orkester has GREAT individual sample hits. i used to use reason before i went to logic. i should really get reason again to rewire it through logic.

It's been just about the same for me. I know that nothing I used was out of bounds, as there were no lyrics, and the whole song was made from scratch by me. I even made most of the samples myself to make sure this wouldn't happen. If any admins are reading, I request that a more accurate approval waiting period is listed when you go the link that was emailed to the artist (provided that period doesn't change to badly) . Although, I understand that people who moderate the site have lives and can't just go around listening to songs and approving all day. I'm sure the amount of audio submissions fluctuates. With all due respect (and hope for approval), I ensure my submission's quality. Thanks in advance.

Think it took me a little over a month when i first got approved.

Yeah I know, but I was just giving some(useless) information about me being easy to moderate :P
You never know whether it helps or not ;]

Hey guys, I've made a separate account for voice acting and various submissions. I know the wait is a month+ but hopefully this will speed up the process by asking here. Sorry if asking for this isn't allowed.

Hey guys I submitted my first audio submission about a week ago and it still hasn't been looked at, if one of you guys could look at it that would be great :) I just wanna get my first audio submission on my account so I can start submitting more :P.
